Bill Maher Praises New CBS Boss Bari Weiss for Forcing Right-leaning Overhaul at Network — as Controversial Comedian Boasts About the 'New Free Press'
Beth Shilliday

Boisterous Bill Maher has proclaimed how thrilled he is that his "girl," Bari Weiss, has taken over as head of CBS News with a mandate to clean up the formerly ultra-woke division, RadarOnline.com can reveal.
The Real Time host, 70, lamented over "leftists" during his Club Random podcast on Monday, November 24, saying he's already seeing news coverage that's "more fair" under Weiss' leadership.

'My Girl, Bari Weiss'

"You know, I find it very frustrating that I cannot get the full story anywhere in the old media," Maher lamented to guest Lara Trump.
"It’s very – I mean, I love the new Free Press. My girl Bari Weiss, who started that and now runs CBS. You know, you’re seeing a change there that’s more fair," the comedian explained about how the former New York Times opinion writer has already begun shaking things up.
Lara observed, "I think that’s very positive," about the new exec's move away from left-leaning coverage.

At the same time, Maher cheered the demise of two extremely left-wing outlets funded by U.S. taxpayers that President Trump's administration defunded earlier this year.
"I mean, I've been very tough on the media, and the biases, and I cry no tears that we’re losing NPR and PBS," Maher added.

1. Disgusting pig

[Grim Chieftain]

2. Bill Maher has been on my ignore list for a long time

[lame54]

3. The Dennis Millerization is complete

[kysrsoze]

17. Yup... between this and interviewing Lara Trump, he's converted. Fuck him and Dennis Miller.

[JBTaurus83]

4. I can't imagine why any

Progressive person still listens to him. He’s basically just a non-religious right winger.

[Emile]

5. His libertarian right-wing purity test for the democratic party

has gone on for far too long.

[travelingthrulife]

20. Libertarians are just the worst. Short-sighted fools

Republicans who like to smoke pot. Still the best definition of a Libertarian.

He has finally gone home.

[Emile]

21. Libertarians share the belief of fiscal conservatism and limited government

with Republicans.

[Chasstev365]

6. Even before Maher because a Righwing kiss up/apologist, I've never found him particularly witty or wise.

[Paladin]

7. Why would anybody expect anything better from Maher? (nt)

[NewHendoLib]

8. Who?

[newdeal2]

9. Soon he will be working under his "girl"

If HBO gets bought out by Paramount.

Would be deliciously ironic if his show got axed after the merger though.

[Dear_Prudence]

10. Pitiful.

Inelegantly aging roue desperately grasping for relevance.

[NCDem47]

11. My prediction:

The right has been DYING to find their own Colbert, Meyers or Kimmel.

If anything, he’ll be ELEVATED at a potential Paramount/Warner Bros. Go farther right in his anti-woke shtick. Maybe take CBS late night slot?

[Emile]

13. I think you might be right.

[kysrsoze]

18. I wouldn't doubt it. HBO Max ALWAYS features Maher over John Oliver, despite Oliver's slew of Emmys.

I've really gotten to the point I despise Maher.

[Prairie Gates]

12. Fuck Bill Maher

[617Blue]

14. Bari Weiss is despised by the GOP base.

The GOP elites profess their love for Israel - but the base hates Jews.

[SocialDemocrat61]

22. She's despised by a lot of people

and with good reason.

[Kid Berwyn]

15. So, Bill will always have a home.

People, even assholes, will say anything.

[valleyrogue]

16. Why does anybody care what that insufferable @ss has to say?

Many of us don't watch his show anyway.

[travelingthrulife]

19. Good riddance to this creep.

[Cha]

23. Gosh, Maher.. Could you get anymore

Fascist Fuck Groveling?

Oh and there is no Defending this if you love Democracy.

[JBTaurus83]

24. It wouldn't shock me

If Canks has something on him or threatened him. He really took a hard right tilt after that White House meeting. It’s also possible that he’s just a money grubbing corporate whore and saw what way the wind was blowing.
